New Caledonia began creating its first educational project in the early 2000s. After more than ten years of negotiations, this project was voted at the beginning of 2016 by the Congress of New Caledonia and its implementation was made possible thanks to a three-year plan voted at the end of 2016 and applied in February 2017. Does this educational p...
In France, the study of census results has been marginalized since the 1950s by the method of family reconstruction because, unlike in other European countries, too few census data are available to develop large-scale studies. The census conducted in Charleville from the mid-18th to early 20th centuries is therefore an exceptional source for studyi...
In 1790, Charleville (today Charleville-Mézières) numbers around 8,000 inhabitants and its population is distributed in a little less than 2,000 households. These latter feature numerous characteristics that are rather common to the region, like their relatively small size or the overwhelming dominance of nuclear family structures. Yet, the populat...

A Subdued Youth ? Families of Bordeaux’s Elites in the 18th Century.
Many historians have become accustomed to consider that elite families during the Old Regime formed a population that strongly controlled its youth, especially through strategies designed to assure social reproduction from one generation to the next. They had several means to achi...
In France, under the Old Regime, marriage was generally late, which does not prevent with some men and women from being very young the day of their wedding. In the xviii th century, this situation concerns a little less than 2% of the wives of the elites of Bordeaux, that is to say a corpus of 98 girls whom we study under three different angles. Th...
Bad times in Gironde in the 18th Century according to parish registers.
During the Old Regime, parish registers were meant to record baptisms, marriages and interments, but they sometimes contained stories of important events that certain priests believed useful to note in them. Even if they are quite rare and unequally distributed in the Gironde r...
[fre] La reconstitution des familles des élites bordelaises a permis de montrer les évolutions et les permanences de leurs comportements démographiques entre la fin du XVIIe siècle et le déclenchement de la Révolution française. On observe une grande diversité des pratiques, bien que cette population soit socialement assez homogène, avec notamment...
[eng] Abstract In a rural village of the south west of France, the population homeostatic regulation system still exists untill 1850 approximately, and can be interpreted as a survivance of the Old Regime. Families try to adapt their structures to preserve the best they can a balance between demography and economic ressources. [fre] Résumé Dans un...
Limiting Births in Small Cities : the Example of Orthez (1730-1830).
Family reconstitution between 1730 and 1830 shows that birth control was practiced in Orthez before the French Revolution and that the number of offspring was then stabilized at about four up to the second half of the 19th century. Fertility rates declined thanks to the combined u...

Being resilient in the face of our vulnerabilities (socio-economic transition AND climate change) requires a better understanding of how we can adapt in a “sustainable” way. A Western model of action and thought has been proposed in many fields (education, health, economy, etc.) and is now part of the history of Pacific island societies. “Indigenous knowledge and practices” (knowledge, know-how, interpersonal skills, orality, stories, community, educational, health, economic, social, linguistic practices, etc.) are subjects of research which may have an impact in the resilience of Pacific island populations and meet challenges of improving health and well-being and societal development in a context of high vulnerabilities in the Pacific island (Vanuatu and New Caledonia)
